Character history
Early life
Born in Salford in 1965, Maccer broke into the music scene in an unknown year. He invented a musical style that became known as "EXTREMELY BAGGY", and became notorious for his hard partying lifestyle, usage of drugs and self abuse, and for breaking musical taboos. This lifestyle would leave Maccer with a stuttering voice and hypersexuality in the form of compulsive masturbation. Forming a band called the Gurning Chimps under the management of a man named Pabsy, the Chimps embarked on a world tour. At some point during the tour, Pabsy vanished and the band ended up under the management of Kent Paul, who took them to America.
GTA San Andreas
Paul hooked the Chimps up with a local drug dealer named The Truth, who took the band into the Bone County desert on a "peyote safari". The trip went bad, with The Truth waking up separated from the band in a Los Santos Japanese bathhouse. Later, The Truth asks his friend, protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson to go find them out on Arco del Oeste, but by the time Carl found them, the other members of the Chimps had vanished, leaving Paul and Maccer behind. Carl takes Paul and Maccer looking for the rest of the Chimps, but after a close encounter with some angry snake farmers and no sign of the other Chimps, Paul decides to simply "pray they made it back to civilization", saying that "keyboardists and drummers are ten-a-penny anyway".
Paul asks Carl to drive them to Las Venturas, where his old friend, disbarred former lawyer Ken "Rosie" Rosenberg, is involved in running Caligula's Palace, a renowned mob casino, owned by three feuding Mafia families, with Rosie set as a neutral party. Paul and Maccer are taken hostage by Leone family don and surviving mob boss Salvatore Leone to ensure Rosie's cooperation. When Salvatore asks Carl to perform a hit on Saint Mark's Bistro in Liberty City, Carl tricks Salvatore into letting Rosie, Paul and Maccer go with him as backup. Instead of actually taking them, he has them leave for Los Santos.
On arriving in Los Santos, Paul and Maccer stay in recovering rapper Madd Dogg's Crib as Carl's guest for the remainder of the storyline, later appearing in the final cutscene on an occasion of celebration.
After 1992
After the events of San Andreas, Maccer found the other members of The Gurning Chimps and carried on with a world tour. He was later banned from Australia[2] and went into rehab, using the Epsilon Program.[2] Maccer’s career was effectively stopped during this period due to a series of legal battles, including one lasting seven years,[3] limiting the use of songs by the Gurning Chimps. In 2004, Maccer began planning a come back tour.[4]
